This was a bit darker of an individual, but that particular shot was also rather underexposed, compared to others in the series, where I had done some exposure adjustment with the camera flash. (The white background confuses the flash exposure adjustment in the camera, and I did not correct for that initially.) Unfortunately, this was the best in the series for focus. I've uploaded a version with better exposure correct, approximating the others in the series.

There is a little bit of color balance issue, here, too. Most of the light comes from the flash, but some comes from the porch light, rather yellowish. When I correct for that a little, it emphasizes the greens in the moth's wings and abdomen. That is there in reality, but perhaps not quite so prominent. (Our own color perception is very dependent on lighting, of course, even if we had the moth in hand.)

That's the best I can do--there are few absolute values in photography, most things, like darkness, lightness, and color, are relative.
